Question: How would you read duelling fighting style? Can you throw the weapon you are holding and still get the damage bonus? Note that it was changed from wielding to holding. And it does not mention other hands. So if we'd allow throwing and not enforcing the light weapon bonus action...

I really think D&D 2024 dropped the ball not giving the choice of two tools and two feats by default. They noticed that 2 stat increases are too limiting. Why are natural matches like druid and hermit or rogue and criminal duplicating the same tool... And the entertainer annoys me even more...

Do you think, polearms will get two mastery properties at once? I mean, they were specifically designed for that. This is why there are so many different ones. Hammer combined with blade and a point. A hook combined with a blade and the list goes on and on.

So. The last we heard, the game will still be in the design phase up until May. So when can we expect the first real previews? Are there any conventions in mid May or early June, where rules previews might be shown? I am really starved for content. I would also not mind a last playtest for...

So. I said it how it is. I am still surprised how many clear statements from WotC are needed to actually get the message out. Maybe they should just stop trying to cater to those that willfully disrupt the communication. 4e was harmed by a few people spreading anecdotes and rumors. I am...

Even if the bard was already in one playtest, we can still speak about them. I think to keep the games compatible, the bard should have both arcane and primal spells from divination, enchantment, transmutation, and illusion schools.

So. Now that the OGL issue is mostly out of the way, where is the rest of the priest playtest. I would not mind the warrior or the mage playtest either.

I think it is time to revaluate armor training. Only having 3 categories of light, medium and heavy is too restricting. I think we should also add simple and martial armors. Simple might be light up to leather, medium up to chain shirt and heavy up to chain mail. This way, classes could...

Thank you @Treantmonklvl20

As seen in other threads, people are complaining, that something is weak, because it only does X damage instead of Y. My general advice from 10 years of reading UA and even playtesting: It is much more important to check if the concept is sound, if abilities work well with each other (bonus...

I want arcane tricksters and eldritch knights to have a spellbook. I would not mind bards having a spellbook too. I love spell books. It was always a cool thing to find spellbooks back in 2nd edition. I want them back.

As DnD 5.5 or 6E is approaching, I'd like to ask you if there are ideas from the 5e playtest you want to see revived. I for my parts mentioned elsewhere that I was really fond of Themes. The Idea of different classes somehow sharing a resource and way of fighting seemed very appealing to me.

When we look at the spell list, casting times of 1 round are absent. In 3.x especially summon spells used that casting time. In 5.0 we have 1 action summon spells (in my opinion a bit overpowered) and 1 minute casting time (in my opinion a bit underpowered). What would be the advantage if...

At level 5, can you really attack 3 times per round if you have both, eldritch scythe and thirsting blade?

How are you supposed to actually find the spells you can add to your list of spells? I can find no table or something that helps you find them.

The alchemist artificer and now the spirit bard gets an ability that has no usage: adding a d6 to healing spells cast through a certain focus (except for the 5th level regenerate spell). So someon should twitter J. Crawford and tell him to write a sentence somewhere in the rules that you are...

When I read tenser's transformation, I noticed that you gain proficiency in heavy armor... it takes ten minutes to don heavy armor... just as long as the spell's duration. Doffing is easily with the new cast-off armor... but how are you supposed to use it. You also can't pre-don armor because if...

And suddenly 3 tresholds broken at once... Now things get interesting: A subclass preview and the table of contents will hopefully be up before the weekend.

I think my thread should be closed. So I repeat myself here: Streamlined and probably very useful. I think level 1 and 2 should get an accelerator. Should be considered tier 0 probably.

That is streamlined and probably very useful.
